Today, you may run into some spotty showers this morning & afternoon. The chance of rain increases to 60% tonight, and the best chance of seeing the heaviest rain will be between 9 pm to 3 am. You may want to rethink any outdoor Noche Buena plans. By tonight, it will already feel much cooler, and a light sweater may be needed. It will also be breezy.
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS are possible across most of the Sunshine State today as a strong cold front moves through the area. This excludes our area, but showers and isolated storms are still likely for us, especially tonight! #7weather #flwx pic.twitter.com/fBkoPmLSWV

As the cold front treks through the Sunshine State, isolated severe storms are possible. This excludes us here in South Florida, but we are expecting showers and isolated storms regardless.
